Consumer Description

PT CRUISER PCM FAILURE. I BOUGHT THIS USED 2/18. CAR LOSING ITS TURBO POWER, GAS CONSUMPTION AND MILAGE HORRIBLE. 5MILES/GALLON. O2 SENSORS REPLACED 6/18. REPLACED BATTERY 7/18. CAR HAD BEEN AND CONTINUED TO HAVE HARD STARTING SINCE 6/18. OFTEN IT WOULD TAKE 2 ATTEMPTS TO START IGNITION. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR FAILURE CODES TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. 10/18 DRIVING 40MPH LARGE BUSY CITY STREET, GOING STRAIGHT, WITH NO WARNING THE CAR FAILED. 40MPH TO SUDDEN SLOW ROLL ENGINE FAILED. LOST POWER STEERING. RADIO STAYED ON. WAS ABLE TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD BUT NOT FULLY OUT OF TRAFFIC LANE. CITY BUS ALMOST STRUCK MY CAR. NORMALLY A MOVE LIKE THAT INCLUDES BRAKE LIGHTS OR SIGNALING. THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME, SO SCARY. STILL NO WARNING LIGHTS. CAR ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER, SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS CLOSE, BUT NEVER DID. 6 HOURS AT MECHANIC, PCM FAILED. NEEDS REPLACEMENT. $1300 FOR NEW PCM. CAN'T AFFORD IT.
